Chrysanthemum?

Today's the day ………………………… for a welcome return

I'm not exactly sure what this plant is - but isn't it gorgeous?

I planted it last summer - and although I usually do write a label - I don't seem to have done this time.  Ah well, never mind, it's lovely to see it again.  I've put another in extras for my friend Rainie .  She blipped something similar today from her garden in New Zealand.  Hers was the dried variety because, of course, they are in the middle of winter.

But it makes us feel all part of Mother Nature's grand plan for the world ……………………………….
